ABOUT GOVERNMENT INTERNSHIPS ABROAD
World Endeavors Government interns gain unique perspectives on different systems of government through hands-on work abroad. Government interns may work for political parties, city or regional councils, or independent organizations working with government policy. Interns research political issues, prepare documents and governmental materials, compile and proofread reports, and attend or help run special events and meetings. Government interns may also do administrative tasks as part of their internship.
IN THE SPOTLIGHT: GOVERNMENT ABROAD

Interning abroad exposes interns to the different ways government is conducted in different parts of the world, giving them a more global perspective as they prepare for their careers.
OTHER CONSIDERATIONS
Successful international government interns must have a strong interest in government work and a curiosity about new political systems. Interns must also have good communication, organization, and research skills and be strongly self-motivated. They should be able to meet deadlines, adjust to unfamiliar circumstances, think creatively, and work both independently and in groups.
